In the world of sculpture and artistic casting, technology has opened up previously unthinkable paths. Capa Esculturas, always at the forefront, has specialized milling equipment that makes the difference: a seven-axis milling robot.

This advanced system allows the creation of highly accurate physical models directly from a 3D file. This optimizes time and improves the fidelity of reproductions. The milling technology in Capa Esculturas joins classic methods, such as lost wax casting, to create bronze and stainless steel sculptures with high quality finishes.

What is the Milling Robot and How Does it Work?

The seven-axis milling robot at Capa Esculturas works with high-density materials, such as polystyrene and polyurethane. It accurately reproduces digital designs on physical models.

The robot uses a 3D file for its programming. Thus, a physical model is obtained at the desired scale, starting from one meter up to the required size. Therefore, this system allows milling for models of different sizes, from medium-sized pieces to monumental works with no size limits.

Thanks to the precision of milling, it is possible to cut and shape details that are difficult to achieve with traditional methods at large sizes. In addition, this process integrates with CNC machining technologies and other modern tools. This makes it possible to model sculptures of any scale and obtain precise details and professional finishes.

Main Advantages of the Milling Robot for Sculptors

El uso de esta tecnología proporciona múltiples beneficios tanto a Capa Esculturas como a los artistas. Among them are:

  1. Reduced Modeling Time: Thanks to milling, the sculpture casting process becomes more efficient. What used to take weeks or months is now completed in less time. Thus, high-speed milling enables the scaling up of physical models and makes it easier to work on large projects from the start.
  2. Fidelity and Accuracy in Reproduction: The programming of the milling robot, from 3D files, allows for accurate replication of the original model. This is ideal for high-quality, large-scale sculptures. Thus, every detail of the work remains intact and at the desired scale. This precision is key in the reproduction of sculptures that require fidelity in every detail.
  3. Scalability and Flexibility: For large-format or monumental sculptures, the robot can mill lightweight materials such as polystyrene or polyurethane. These materials allow the creation of individual parts that are then assembled into a single piece. Thus, large sculptures can be created without the weight limitations of traditional materials.
  4. Material Versatility: The robot’s ability to work with high-density materials such as polyurethane and polystyrene facilitates the creation of both lightweight and robust structures, depending on the project. This also offers flexibility in selecting the right material and facilitates handling in the workshop.

Technology at the Service of Art


The incorporation of this milling robot at Capa Esculturas represents a breakthrough in production and efficiency. It also opens up new creative possibilities for sculptors.

With this modern equipment and traditional casting techniques, Capa Esculturas can develop highly complex projects. It also responds to the demand for large-scale or fast-production works. Consequently, this technology is essential in the manufacture of sculptures, allowing an artistic expression faithful to the original design.
